ANOTHER Quiz and More Interiors

Don’t watch with cat lovers in the room. Don’t watch because…you will find yourself surprisingly unable to stop laughing. She’s your girlfriend, isn’t she? She’s known Mister Fluffy longer than you, right? Okay then DON’T CLICK. There will be other evenings you can spend on the couch later on. Sometimes domestic harmony is a good thing.

On Thursday evening, as scientists and officials put finishing touches on a long-awaited report about global warming, the Paris landmark will switch off its 20,000 flashing light bulbs that run up and down the tower and illuminate the French capital's skyline.

The EiffelTower's lights account for about 9 percent of the monument's total energy consumption of 7,000 megawatt-hours per year.

The five-minute blackout…

Five minutes.Well, that’ll help, won’t it?It’s all about the gesture!Other interesting stuff I learned at the link:

What a perfect name for a guy filling a perfectly useless position.I’ll bet he’s a Brit.Whattaya think?

Today’s Pics:Just to further impress the women with what a great house I keep, two more interiors from that fabulous apartment in Webster, NY.Someday I may post the counter-point to these pics, which would be interiors of El Casa Móvil De Pennington on a typical day.Quelle horreur!!

I dated a Democrat, married her. She wasn't sure about me being in the Service, especially Enlisted. She got way over it.She has since left academia, became a Corporate type. She is to the Right of Boortz, and thinks that everyone is a Liberal at 20. But then we grow up!

DC... I think your comment about being liberal until you grow up has so much truth in it. I look at Liberals, Democrats and Communists in the same light... they all have a lot of good ideas in the abstract but don't have a clue about making those ideas work in the reality we call life.

I find it oh-so-interesting that The Second Mrs. Pennington reversed that phenomenon...apolitical in her youth (when I met her), Republican in early middle age, academic moonbat in her dotage. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!?!
